Question – what or who is CAPO? The HuffP headline says “Christie Caught with CAPO During Debacle” and it’s evident they are talking about Wildstein, but of course they don’t define the acronymn. Is it some sort of Chief Authority Port Operations??? Just curious.

My new son-in-law greeted me with a beard when I went to Chicago to visit right after Xmas. He had sported the after five needs a shave look previously. I preferred it to the beard, but had a chance to think about what I would say if asked since I saw a photo on FB with the beard. Of course, the first thing my daughter asks is what I think of his beard. I was prepared saying I think to have or not have a beard is something the person and their spouse needs to decide, no one else. Glad I thought about it ahead.

POTUS Looks forward to meeting Pope….No Time Table to announce. Israel and comments made by an Israel Foreign defense team ths ADM finds it offensive if accurate from a trusted ally. Kerry was accused of being Messianic and not working in good faith. Jay went down on the Israeli official if the story was accurate.

Only a fool would ask that question. Those Dems fear AIPAC and moreover. Now on Veto threat and Top priority…..? Says Jon Karl. Jay: there has been a number of Dems urging that this bill not take place……not get a vote.

To be fair, democratic Senators undermining President Obama is a real story and a big one. The media often overhypes and distort, but this time, the problem is real. Aren’t we very concerned, and mad, about it ?

Jay is giving her a litany of POTUS’ Accomplishments. More needs to be done……Make work pay…..Increase our investments, wants action…..Our POTUS…..Does to instigate actions, Rally support to promote growth, playing by the rules, help Middle Class.

Plante of CBS wants to know if POTUS wanting to use his executive powers were indication of lack of his ability to work with congress. Jay said No. POTUS will use both and Not either or proposition to get things done for the American people.

Ed starts of with a Lie. Is it US’ decision to eliminate Iran to enrich Nuclear. Jay said No. Corrected the US policy again. Ed H tried again and this time, Jay said No. That some have reported the issue wrong and US was not trying to stop Iran from enriching Uranium. Now he is asking Jay on Benghazi…..Terror attack. There we go.

Common Ed, Jay says. You know it was Not true. Lots of report and lots of false reports and wrong and selected information leaked.

Still on Benghazi and Libya. Jay our military do NOT wait for Sept 11 to prepare for Military actions……as far as the Embassies go.

[Senator Jeff Merkley of Oregon] has now responded with a letter to constituents in which he comes out against holding a vote on the sanctions bill right now. Here’s the key quote from the letter, which was passed along by a source:

“At this time I do not support additional sanctions legislation because I share the views of many foreign policy experts that it could undermine the ongoing negotiations and weaken our multinational coalition, ultimately making less likely our goal of preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.”

Merkley’s opposition in particular suggests how this debate may unfold going forward. With around 30 Senate Democrats remaining quiet on the vote, it may require questions from constituents to get them to declare their positions. […..]

Executive Initiative? Jay said for them to wait until the SOTU address. I don’t believe that POTUS is using more executive orders more than, say, GWBush. Bush used 289 by now and PBO has used 149.
Jay did say that perhaps they should check with the WHPC historian…..Mockingly……to get the exact numbers.

Now Immigration and Executive orders. Nope the ADM position has Not changed. Senate passed the bill. It is not a hard job to do ad to get done. The House needs to pass the bill. The ADM remains optimistic on CIR in 2014.

They are testing and monitoring. My guess. That is why the long delay. It takes a while for the river to flow down. The Ocean…..Remember the 2011 Japan Earthquake? The Tsunami and the debris that floated out to US coastal areas are still coming down the West Coast today.

so for everybody who says that states have the right to determine what regulations they need, and the epa is just big government meddling in local affairs, i suggest they go get a nice big glass of tap water anywhere along the ohio river.

ut, that just shows us once again how stupid that WHPC really is. What is President Obama suppose to say about that French alleged affair. I feel so sorry that Jay has to deal with those rats everyday.

Who’s watching Gov. Christie”State of the State this afternoon? MSNBC will be carrying it. By the way while flipping the channels I came across Valerie Jarret on Mrs. Greenspan show, seem like the extra days in Hawaii at Oprah did her some good.

“Jan 13 (Reuters) – Penis pumps cost the U.S. government’s Medicare program $172 million between 2006 and 2011, about twice as much as the consumer would have paid at the retail level, according to a government watchdog’s report released on Monday.”

I don’t know about you but if they offered me the job of Penis Pump Government Watchdog, I would turn it down.

Where does one go buy a retail penis pump? I’m just asking for a friend.

Msnbc also known as the Christie channel during the day, is covering the state of the state speech as if he is President.
This love fest is ridiculous! He’s fat and ugly, Mob-like and an asshole.
I don’t get it! Really I don’t!

If Christie is very masculine, I am very Brigitte Bardot and my voice is very Edith Piaf! The only thing Christie is is A BULLY. He acts like it, sounds like it and even looks like the bull on Wall Street.

Now NCLB, you *know* I was teasing Jovie by using those RWNJs’ term for Bully Christie! 😉 I personally like my masculine models to have compassion, not to mention a certain amount of finesse. Christie is just too crude.

The GOP likes bullies – they like to shut up anyone who does not agree with their ideas – and Christie was perfect – until he met with the President – but all is well Christie has been attacking the President ever since. It is obscene that in the 21st century people are too scared to be against this man – or to speak out. If he gets away with this – there is no democracy of merit.

This time around, of course, those in the Democratic Party opposing a drift into war have the White House on their side, and the precedent of what happened when a lot of Democrats supported a similarly avoidable war with Iraq. But if antiwar Democrats don’t start making some real noise, the configuration of forces in Congress will continue to deteriorate, and we could be looking at a war foisted on an unwilling commander-in-chief.

Chris Christie will Never be the POTUS. I said that here last year. Way before the Nov elections.

The number of those supporting Christie speaks Volume. Why? They know that what Christie did is Indefensible. Christie is a Liar. Willard Mitterrand Romney saw enough using his investigative group……the reason they didn’t pick him.

Fuck this piece of shit Christie! He is doing his state of the state address and and I want to puke. Will he stop stealing from Obama. He isn’t even close to delivering a speech like Obama can. And I sit here listening to his bullshit and knowing what he has done to his state and the people there.

Those who are disappointed about 15 Dems or so going bat poop fatuous on the Iran sanctions are doing so for 2 reasons.

AIPAC and the number of people in the senate who have Jewish heritage in the senate. 11 or 13. The most in our history.

There re 20 Women in the senate. That makes a difference. The more the senate has a Diverse make up, the better. Dems have always been more supportive of Israel in our history than the GOP. Today, the GOP has Endtime faddish.

What needs to change here is NOT name calling against those 15 or so Dems. What needs to change is for POTUS to speak to the nation, Prime Time and explain why the P5+1 is important. If POTUS does that, within 24 hours, those 15 would drastically change. The POTUS has got to stop playing quiet diplomacy with warmongers. The Nation at large needs to be informed and prompto.

Thank you nena20409 for all your reporting today. I only saw the thank you and goodbye WHP briefing today by the fabulous Jay “wolfman” Carney.

I think however the president has been anything BUT quiet with the senate. Jay has openly confirmed he would veto any bill passed. Yet the latest “news” report has numbers increasing in the senate to overcome a veto. I’m not sure if I believe that. I even heard talk of a bill giving the p5+1 time to work ( a year) before more sanctions would go into place. I’ve been hearing about this growing support for more sanctions every since this preliminary agreement for talks. I also listen at work to the state.gov briefings from SOS Kerry’s office. He too has been urging the senate to leave this alone and not scuttle the chances of diplomacy working.

When the talks were first announced I listened to a UK parliament q and a. There was much concerned mentioned about the US, in particular congress was mentioned. The reps were urging the PM to make it clear to the US. The PM ( blank on name and see face) was very clear that President Obama was fully committed. That word was his, and I felt it carried weight. They know he is nothing to play with. So…really as much as this pains me I know HE did not do all this hard work, bringing all these nations together for the toughest sanctions,and this chance for direct talks to let a few mealy mouthed senators jettison it.

As far as the nation needing to BE informed we all need to get ourselves informed! One thing is clear we have no desire for another war, not even your every day republican. They may be satisfied with some Obama derangement just say no, but democrats would not be. If talks get scuttled would any of those 30 dems, including Schumer be ready to accept ANY responsibility? NO.

I trust the president has this, though I’m sure he and his admin appreciate hearing from informed citizens.

Question… how can you continue governing the state of NJ when there is NO possible way you didn’t know as the governor of your state what was going on with the GWB? And he wants to be the next hopeful President in 2016. Its just amazing what the GOP pukes out for hopeful presidents. And to think this is the best they have. Trully fucking amazing.

Unfortunately for the TBGOPers, they have scared the MSM form vetting their candidates. Hence Palin, Romney, and Christie. These are UGLY people inside and out. They don’t get any scrutiny by the right. The MSM does a disservice to the US populace at large.

No Dem gov with as many baggage as Christie would last that Long in any state. The days of Edward Edwards or Gov Long from LA are gone.

But In GOP, Palin ruled authoritatively in AK and so does Christie and the Governors of KS and WI.

I am Not a Fan of Jon Huntsman or Joe Manchin. Both were governors. Both are Not buying whatever Christie is selling and neither did Randell from PA on Politics Nation, yesterday.

Huntsman, who appeared on MSNBC Tuesday with Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va), also a former governor of that state, said that gubernatorial offices are structured so tightly that everyone would be aware of such an action “down to, you know, a minuscule details.” (sic)

“But I have to tell you that having run a governor’s office — and Joe has done the same thing, and every governor’s office, whether your state is large or small, it’s pretty much organized the same way,” he said, as quoted by the Washington Post. “Your neighbor is a chief of staff, and your deputy chief of staff is just right down the hall. And everybody knows, day in and day out, what’s playing out in your state. Down to, you know, a minuscule details.”

they were both on MJ Nena & they started their comments by praising Christie – saying what a wonderful governor and friend he was – still worried about payback as far as I can see. After they said the above they mumbled around – still giving out praise.

I was expecting Chris Christie to start his state of the union with “shut the fuck up and sit down now already, I’ve got some hopeful presidential points to make and all of your clapping is delaying my focus on my phoney speech”

If anyone read the article linked yesterday entitled “The Rise of the Chris Christie Democrats”, you’ll see how he was able to get elected. He made alliances and each side got something. The dem. boss in south Jersey was being investigated by Corzine so he gave his support to Christie and the investigations stopped. The Essex county executive is corrupt but he gave Christie his support and there are no investigations. Buono was not part of the good old boys and girls network and could not be bought so she paid the price. I am disgusted by this state. Christie in actuality has done nothing for this state but he has promoted himself and the people voted for his celebrity.

But, as he told Cabinet members, “we are not just going to be waiting for a legislation in order to make sure that we’re providing Americans the kind of help that they need.”

I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone — and I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward in helping to make sure our kids are getting the best education possible and making sure that our businesses are getting the kind of support and help they need to grow and advance to make sure that people are getting the skills that they need to get those jobs that our businesses are creating.

And I’ve got a phone that allows me to convene Americans from every walk of life — non-profits, businesses, the private sector, universities — to try to bring more and more Americans together around what I think is a unifying theme: making sure that this is a country where if you work hard, you can make it.

“We need all hands on deck to build on the recovery that we’re already seeing,” President Obama said.
